welcome to finding quiet.

a weekly newsletter with lyrical essays on connecting with nature, slow living, digital minimalism and sometimes books.

i also have a podcast with casual chats about whatever is on my mind, a further post-publication chat or reading an essay aloud.

finding quiet is about just that, blocking out the noise of social media and societal expectations and concentrating on finding your own quiet space in the world. i hope this newsletter either helps you find it or is one of the quiet spaces you can come to when it all gets a bit much.
